OK first of all let me get this straight I'm not defending this bad movie or anything but it isn't good I just think its OK like it's not bad or terrible like how all critics said for example there isn't too much development of the film I didn't like the characters or the song but it isn't terrible or godawful I just think its OK. I admit the animation isn't good but I don't hate it sorry guys.I am just saying that the story is kinda alright I just think its alright my brain is telling me to hate this movie but I don't hate it I do think there are flaws. If you are a oz fan maybe I don't recommend you to watch it but anyway that's all I have to say. 5/10
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is a kind of sequel to the original story, The Wizard of Oz. the story starts when Dorothy wakes up in her home in Kansas after the tornado hit. After only being there for a short time, Dorothy is swept back to Oz because of a distress call from her old friend Scarecrow. The message informed her that Oz is being taken over by the evil Jester, the younger brother of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Jester has stolen his sister's broomstick and is using it as a magic wand. He is devoted on destroying Oz and ruling over everyone by himself. It is up to Dorothy and her new friends, and of course Todo to stop the Jester and restore the life in Oz.First off, I would like to note that this movie is a musical. So if you are in to musicals this is a must see movie but if you are not, this movie may not interest you. I like the fact that all the characters pick up where they left off in the first movie. The cowardly lion is no longer a coward and the tin-man now has a heart and real emotions.
I watch pretty much everything my public library gets on DVD. I am a big fan of the original movie and was curious about this one, but being animated thought it would be boring. Still, I felt obligated to watch at least 15 minutes of it. Well I was surprised at how engaging it is. The voice acting has some of the best in the business and young Lea Michelle (of Glee fame) does a great job voicing Dorothy Gale, including a few nice songs. I was also surprised at Martin Short, who plays the bad guy, the Jester. We all know he is a fine actor, but his marvelous singing was a pleasant surprise.The story starts right when Dorothy is waking up after the tornado shook everything up at home. Recall that the original movie was all a dream, while Dorothy was knocked out. But this story is done not as a dream, but as Dorothy really being brought back to Oz, by a rainbow transporter, to save Oz from the Jester.The story of course is inconsequential, it is just animated fun with a few songs thrown in. But good songs. When Dorothy gets back to Kansas, she also exposes the fraud being perpetrated to steal everyone's damaged property. Other voice actors included Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, Kelsey Grammar, Bernadette Peters, Oliver Platt, and Hugh Dancy.
